Functional Views - Hengstler TS-56 Operating Manual

TwinSide TS™ Thermal Printer Family
In the TwinSide TS™ family, there are two thermal printheads and two platens.
printhead is located above the paper, and one is located a short distance away below the
paper. Both printheads print simultaneously as the paper is advanced. This offset creates a
small region on the back of the printout where printing is not possible. Printout designs
should be created according.
You may note immediately several of the advantages of thermal printing. First, since the
printing is done with heat, there is no noise from the printing process itself. Thermal printing
is inherently quiet compared to most other technologies, such as impact dot matrix. Also,
there are only two moving elements in a two-sided thermal printer: the platens. This provides
increased reliability and life when compared to other technologies.
